Again Gilles Peterson’s Brownswood Recordings brings us some quality new jazz, no surprise there. Shabaka and the Ancestors definitely take some ‘Wisdom from the Elders’ to make a beautiful deep and spiritual jazz album. London saxophonist Shabaka Hutchings here joins up with a group of South African musicians led by trumpeter Mandla Mlangeni. Recorded in Johannesburg in a single day, the set is steeped in what Hutchings calls Afro-futurism. ‘Mzwandile’, ‘Joyous’, ‘The Observer’ and ‘Natty’ just a few of the tracks to listen out for… Don’t Sleep
